look for the IP Authentication chapter in the DSPACE documentation for your 
version for details 

We use IP authentication so that the system will try it first - before it moves 
on to the next method: 

This is done in dspace/config/modules/authentication.cfg

plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \
         org.dspace.authenticate.IPAuthentication, \
         org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication


You also need to define a GROUP in the admin web ui - we define Princeton_IPs

In addition you need to define the IP range for that group, in our case we 
added 

ip.Princeton_IPs = 0, xx.yyy.zzz, aaa.bbb 

to dspace/config/modules/authentication-ip.cfg


Last you have to set the policies on your items and bitstreams as need using 
the Princeton_IPs group
